UA Sport Wireless Heart Rate Monitoring Earphones

2017-05-03
a heart rate sensor built into your headphones well it's been done before Samsung did it with their iconic earphones both did it with this sentence board pulse and rumor has it Apple is trying to incorporate that feature into the next-gen Apple earpods and they're probably more than it I didn't even mention what I think the you a sport wireless heart rate earphones execute on the feature better than most and today we're giving the Under Armour sport wireless heart rate earphones a long overdue review the you a sport wireless heart rate is a JBL product and currently comes in two color weight black like these and they also come in way they're competitively priced at one forty nine ninety five which is pretty standard for sport wireless earphones these days also keep in mind if you buy these earphones you also get twelve month premium membership to lamp buy one for free which is a $30 value by itself if you want to pick these your phone's up I'll have a link in the description below packaging here is pretty remarkable when you look the LED it says only JBL audio engineering can meet Under Armor standard for premium performance to create the ultimate sport headphones I'll be alerted to that first you'll see the headphones laid out neatly in front of you under that you'll find included carrying case inside the box you'll also find a micro USB cable three extra ear tips for a total of four different ear tips and some documentation that you'll need an electron microscope to read because the Texas of frickin tight and there's no wall work but other than that packaging is pretty solid the earphones themselves are a cross between the Bose sound sport and the power beats three the uterus and the UA earphones is very similar to ones found on the Bose sound sport and they're meant to simply rest on the ball of your ear which mean there isn't a tight seal in a lot of ambient noise and manages to get in which I know runners like but not so much weight lifted but unlike the Bose sound sport the UA ear tips don't have that extra ear thing instead Under Armour and/or JBL decided to use an ear hook sort of like the one on the power beats three personally i prefer an ear hook over fin cuz are much more secure and i don't have to constantly have to be readjusting their earphones like the jaybird x3 or the beat sack the rest of the earphones is pretty standard there's a thin sausage cable connecting the two and as an inline controller with three binds so you can control humidity playback and the blinds have a very satisfying click to them you know how particular I am about haptic feedback on products in general I'm a fan of the overall design the lightweight they fit well and they have ear hooks so I don't have to worry about them falling out so how do they sound you might be wondering and the short answer is they're so so they sound fairly decent on the mids but the highs can get pretty tinny and the lows aren't there and like I said earlier they don't create a really good seal so you get a lot of leakage and a lot of ambient noise does manage to get it but some people will argue that if you want great sounding earphones then you should get over the ear headphones and technically they're not wrong but jaybird manages to deliver amazing audio quality with the gbx3 so why shouldn't other competitors if you're looking for exceptional sound quality from your sport earphones then you should look elsewhere but the you a sport wireless heart rate your phones are in just about sound as the name implies they also track your heart rate during your workout and you can check your heart rate a few different ways first you can use the you a record app to get real-time readings all you have to do is make sure your headphones are clear with your phone open the app and set up on track workout and then you'll see stats like duration calories burned current heart rate and which is own urine and you can set the headphones to tell you your current stats answering intervals I set my travel 15 minutes honestly the tracking feature is pretty mean and don't worry you can still leave the app even while I was tracking your workout but if we're some reason you don't want to use the app to track your heart rate because you want to see battery or because you don't have your phone with you you can still use the heart rate tracking feature by pressing and holding the touch sensitive you a logo on the right ear but for five seconds then the headphones will tell you that the heart rate monitor is turned on and at any point during your workout if you simply touch the UA logo again the headphones will audibly tell you your current heart rate accuracy on this heart rate monitor is pretty good it consistently detected my heart rate throughout the whole workout and the readings I was spitting out wasn't aligned with what my garmin vivosmart 3 treadmill heart rate monitor and manual calculations were recording the reason I really like having a heart rate monitor in my ear is because I can still see what my core and heart rate is even if I'm wearing wrist wraps or straps when I live because if you're going to wear either wraps or straps you can't wear a wrist mounted heart monitor and being able to see a live reading for my phone is pretty cool the UA sport while is heart rate earphones connect your phone via bluetooth for that too and have a 30 foot range with direct line-of-sight to your phone they also have a battery life of about 5 hours but expect that badly to drink faster if you have the heart monitor turn on at all times and sadly there's no quick charging feature also these earphones are IP x5 waterproof so you'll be flying and covered in sweat but you shouldn't submerge them in water like I mentioned earlier these earphones also come with a caring touch it's a silicone soft showcase that slips up it doesn't provide much padding but does include a case is still much better than the ones that come with the palm is three beats X and Raburn x3 I just don't get why those earphones come with such bad carrying cases in conclusion I really like these earphones I think the freaking dope but if you do decide to pick these up I just want to make sure you know what you're getting these are not the best sounding earphones out there and they let a lot of ambient noise in their battery life sucks so you're probably going to have to remember to charge them every time before you go to the gym and not having a quick charging feature is a bummer but they are very comfortable to wear and they never fall out of the air and the heart rate monitor is a really cool feature especially if you're using Under Armour's record app if JBL manages to improve the sound quality so is the battery light and include a quick charging feature in their Gen 2 version of these headphones they will have a serious knock out with the wireless sports earphone market hey if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed
